Notes
Great run today! Could've sworn I was under 6:00 pace average though. Body felt great today, almost unstoppable. Yesterday I decided to take the day off so I could recover from this week's tough workouts, including today's. 3 hard workouts in a 5 day period is a lot. A day off should be enough to allow me to recover and absorb all of the benefits of my recent work. One other thing of note was that I saw Nike athlete Kara Goucher on the trail today! She actually moved out of my way and smiled at me as I cruised by! It took me a second to realize it was her as she was wearing a pair of shades. I didn't realize how tiny she actually is in person. I guess thats what you kinda have to look like to be one of the World's best. Anyways, I am very happy with this workout as I absolutely hammered almost the entire time and still felt good at the end (even after my insane kick with .75 to go). The trail was a tad bit muddy from the rains the past few days, which was a little difficult at times. I think I will run an additional 3 miles tonight easy for mileage.
